Summary

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) collected high-resolution multichannel sparker, minisparker and chirp seismic-reflection data in November 2014, from offshore Catalina and Santa Cruz basins. The survey was designed to image faults and folds associated with movement on the faults in offshore southern California, including the Catalina, Catalina Ridge, San Clemente, and San Diego Trough faults. Data were collected aboard the Scripps Institution of Oceanography R/V Robert Gordon Sproul. Subbottom acoustic penetration spans several hundred meters and is variable by location. This data release contains processed digital SEG-Y. The seismic-reflection profiles of bedrock, sediment deposits and tectonic structure provide geologic information [...]

Purpose

Data were acquired to support USGS geologic hazards projects to aide hazard assessment and geologic structure mapping of southern California’s offshore Catalina, Catalina Ridge, San Clemente, and San Diego Trough Fault Zones. These data were collected to update the USGS Quaternary fault database and shaking hazard models developed by the Working Group on California Earthquake Probabilities. In addition, the survey imaged a large landslide complex in Santa Cruz Basin in order to determine causes and age of seafloor failure. Data collection was funded in part by UC Student Ship Funds. These data and information are intended for science researchers, students from elementary through college, policy makers, and general public.
